This document, titled "Chicken and Millipede," presents an English animal story suitable for Level 4 readers, part of Book 19, Version 2.0. The narrative revolves around two friends, Chicken and Millipede, whose competitive nature leads them to a football penalty shoot-out to determine who is the better player. Initially, Millipede acts as the goalkeeper while Chicken scores only one goal. The roles then reverse, and Millipede impressively scores five goals by dribbling, kicking, and heading the ball. Chicken, a poor loser, becomes furious upon her defeat, which prompts Millipede to laugh. In a fit of anger, Chicken swallows Millipede whole. Later, while walking home, Chicken encounters Mother Millipede, who inquires about her child. Although Chicken remains silent, Mother Millipede hears her child's cry for help from inside the chicken. Mother Millipede then guides her child to use its natural defense – producing a foul smell and terrible taste – causing Chicken to feel unwell. The story concludes with this development.
